Isaac Josephson took second place for the Minneota Vikings in the 182-pound weight class at the Rumble on the Red wrestling tournament in Fargo, N.D., over the weekend.

Preston Lehmann, representing West Fargo, pinned Josephson 1 minute, 15 seconds into their championship bout to hand the Minneota senior his first loss on the season.

As a team, the Vikings tied with St. Cloud Apollo for 20th place overall with 79 points. Albert Lea and West Fargo tied for first place out of 65 teams with 166.5 points. Ten teams in the field finished third or better in their respective state tournaments last season.

Josephson finished 4-1 in the tournament, but was one of just four Vikings to complete competition with a winning record. Joining him were Cole Hennen, Alec Engler and Bryce Bruner.

Hennen and Bruner each went 3-2 at the Fargodome at 145 and 132 pounds, respectively. Engler used three pins to compile a 4-3 record, good enough for eighth place at 138 pounds.

182-Isaac Josephson, 4-1; second place, one pin two maj decisions, pinned by Preston Lehman from West Fargo (4 pins, 1 Tech fall) in 1:15 in championship. Josephson's first loss of season.

Dovre records 2nd triple-double of season for Lakers

Jonah Dovre's second triple-double of the season aided the Lakeview boys' basketball team to an 81-74 victory over Truman at the Mountain Lake holiday tournament on Friday.

Dovre had 17 points, 16 rebounds and 10 blocks for the Lakers, who snapped a six-game losing streak with the victory. Derek Larsen and Spencer Larsen each reached double figures against Truman as well with 18 and 10 points, respectively. Derek Larsen had team highs in assists (5) and steals (4), while Spencer pulled down 10 rebounds for a double-double. Max Horner added 18 points in the victory.

The win over Truman was the polar opposite of Lakeview's previous game, when the Lakers committed 30 turnovers in a 53-25 loss to their hosts from Mountain Lake.

Lakeview scored just six points in the first half to trail 31-6 at the break. Derek Larsen was the only player to reach double digits scoring in the loss, knocking down four shots for 10 points.

The Lakers will look to build off of the win over Truman in their next contest, as Lakeview hosts Fulda in Cottonwood on Thursday.

The Canby Lancers wrapped up the three-day St. Clair Holiday Tournament on a positive note, defeating Maple River 57-36 Saturday behind a big game by Ricki Kallhoff.

The Lancers (3-4 overall) had lost to United South Central 62-48 on Thursday and fell 56-52 to Minnesota Valley Lutheran on Friday before Saturday's dominant performance.

Kallhoff finished the game with 19 points, eight rebounds, two steals and three blocks to lead the Lancers. Morgan Merritt added 12 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Taylor Gorder also had a solid game for Canby with 11 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

Maple River's Jozie Ostermann scored 14 points and was the only player on her team to finish with more than six. The Eagles dropped to 1-10 with the loss.

Canby returns to Camden Conference play Thursday with a road game against unbeaten Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg.
